Things that make me feel great about my sway:
I lost some weight before the BD and stuck to the LE diet fairly well as well as supplements that I wanted in my sway. I didn't take any prenatals like I did before both my boys. I was able to follow a lot of what I had planned this time around.
Things that make me nervous about my sway:
I had a big burrito the day of supposed O. I wish I could have done the diet longer and lost more weight, but it was the hardest part for me and I've been on and off it for 7 cycles already, taking from a week to a whole cycle off. It was wearing me down. 3 weeks was the best I could do and I did it fairly well.
Things worth mentioning:
I started taking prenatals 3 days after O day (along with the the B6 I had been taking for a while) and DH had been taking a fertility supplement called Fertilaid for this cycle. The one other cycle that DH took the fertility supplements, I also got pregnant but had a chemical. This time around, what was new was that I took the prenatals shortly after O day. Maybe this is helping baby to stick.
